Tag: PyWine

After working with PyGTK and Glade for my first tutorial, I decided to write another more complex tutorial but I couldn’t think of a topic (Note: If you have any suggestions for any tutorials or posts I’d love to hear them) so I decided to work on creating a simple application and hopefully useful topics would arise from there.

The idea I came up with (which will hopefully be simple) is to create a program that will allow me to keep track of the different types of wine that I drink and how much I like them. It’s something I’ve wanted to write for a while so I thought it would be good to combine learning PyGTK and doing it.

I’m going to call the project PyWine. The full source and Glade file for this tutorial can be found here

The first thing to do is start a new Glade project in the projects directory called PyWine. Create a new Window, call it “mainWindow,” and set the title to be “PyWine”. Then add a handler to the destroy signal just like in the first tutorial.

Next I add a Vertical Box to the Window with 4 rows, (from top to bottom) one row for a Menu bar, one row for a Toolbar, one row for a Tree or List View, and the final row for a Status Bar. Name the Tree View “wineView”
